@coffeewithkimbra

Thanks. I’ve seen some interesting builds with separate twins-such as actual bunks, and another with a twin and then a murphy bed that drops down (mid wall, for a non-window van), for the second twin. If you’re smaller people and don’t mind the width being less, a narrow twin saves 6 inches (36 vs. 30 wide). I’m actually currently redoing my layout, and turning that second which/twin to the side, and also noted that with them still on two levels, the lower one can slide underneath the top one, so (your daughter’s) feet would be under the upper bed (if that makes sense). Saves ‘living’ space.

Great idea with the placement of the 2 mattresses! As a solo traveler I am always interested in finding comfortable ways to accommodate a friend coming along for a few days. Plus, having a sofa is great! The shower/bathroom configuration is quite clever. It seems very warm and cozy inside. The only thing missing is a cup of hot cocoa. 😉 It does feel airy without any upper cabinets however, those do add lots of storage. Trade-offs, huh. I guess it all depends on one's needs. The antique lamp is beautiful, nice touch! Thank you both for the tour. Safe travels!

Simple build with some really nice features. Just curious as to what year this van was that it had over 100k miles on it. What is the typical life of a dodge promaster chassis?

@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures

Жыл бұрын

I have seen so many with well over 200k. As a shuttle, they drive 30-50k a year

@coffeewithkimbra

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the miles weren’t great. It was tough then, as it is now, to find a van that was the size I wanted with an impecable service record (#1 for my MUSTS, even tho it isn’t a guarantee that all will go well). I actually drove off the lot without the van because I just wasn’t sure. But they called, reduced the price a bit, and gave me a 1-year full warranty (which I replaced my AC with). It was just a good budget call and figured I wouldn’t put another 100k on it (but I never say never). Hubby was cool with the price vs miles too-so we went for it.

@coffeewithkimbra

Жыл бұрын

The service record was key for me. And it was in better shape than the two others on the lot for body and basic condition.

Why didn’t you like the marine pump?

@coffeewithkimbra

Жыл бұрын

A few things-it’s a very small ‘pull’ of water with each pump and when filling a coffee pot or large water bottle, it felt laughable (and took some effort). It also made a rather loud whistling noise with each press (could have been some air coming into the pump but I don’t think so)-and lastly-unless you are full-time and that water never sits long in the tubes, or you remove the tubing from the foot pedal after each trip, water will sit stagnant and become smelly. I would put a bleach solution thru the lines to clean-but didn’t solve the issue (and added another problem with my fear of the bleach degrading it or hurting me). Even after that cleaning it would smell really funky. Three strikes.
